Is there any strong reason to use GeoParquet instead of straight up parquet if all I'm interested in is storing and operating on lat/lons?

I'm curious if it compresses them better or something like that. I see lots of people online saying it compresses well (but mostly compared to .shp or similar) but normal parquet (.gz.parquet or .snappy.parquet) already does that really well. So it's not clear to me if I should spend time investigating it...

I mostly process normal parquet with spark and sometimes clickhouse right now.
